HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Cubana ATR 72-200, registration CU-T1548, has been an essential part of Cubana de Aviación’s regional fleet, helping connect Cuba’s diverse islands and key cities with reliable and efficient air service. Introduced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the ATR 72-200 is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft well-suited for short-haul flights, offering economical operation and excellent performance on the often short and challenging runways of regional airports. CU-T1548 has been pivotal in sustaining vital air links within the Caribbean, particularly between Havana and destinations such as Santiago de Cuba, Holguín, and other provincial hubs.
The aircraft’s rugged design and proven reliability have made it a workhorse for Cubana’s domestic and regional routes, capable of carrying around 70 passengers comfortably. CU-T1548’s turboprop engines provide better fuel efficiency than regional jets on short sectors, while its quiet cabin and straightforward maintenance requirements make it ideal for the tropical environment in which it operates. The ATR 72-200 has allowed Cubana to maintain frequent schedules and dependable service, which are critical for both passenger travel and cargo transport in the region.
Throughout its years of service, CU-T1548 has supported not only commercial flights but also government and humanitarian missions, particularly in times of emergency such as hurricane relief operations. Its versatility and adaptability have made it a backbone of Cuba’s regional aviation infrastructure, bridging communities and supporting economic activity. The ATR 72-200 remains a symbol of Cubana’s commitment to connecting the islands and offering safe, dependable air service despite economic and logistical challenges.
This 1:200 scale offers a detailed and accurate representation of this important regional aircraft. Perfect for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, the replica showcases the classic Cubana livery and the distinctive features of the ATR 72-200, celebrating its vital role in Caribbean air travel.
